THE LOGICAL EXTENSION
Tape Controllers and Printer Interface
Just look at these fantastic features
e ZX-99 automatic tape control of up to four cassette
recorders as input or output under full software con-
trol. Printer interface for any RS 232 serial printer giv-
ing the user access to all 132 characters of ASC II
characters. Data retrieval word processing for real
mini-computer capabilities. Plus! Automatic tape to
tape copy, tape block skip and diagnostic assistance.
e Tape load interface. Say goodbye to the load prob-
lems associated with the system. The tape loader
allows the user to test and pre-set the cassette
recorder to the exact sound level expected by the
Timex or Sinclair. No more five minute load with un-
satisfactory results. Unit has LED lights which tell the
user when the recording level is correct or when the
sound needs modifying. A real big time saver.
Ram Packs 16K, 32K or 64K
Expands the memory available from 2K up to a maxi-
mum of 64K, but with a real difference. Our 32K also
comes in a piggyback version that allows the user to
plug in his 16K and have a full 48K of memory. Finally
you can buy the 32K piggyback version now and add
another 32K later for a full 64K in the end. Plugs
Te directly into the computer and does not require any
additional power source. Features a LED light to
signal when the ram pack is operational.
Keyboards
The Klik and Executive. Both units offer unique fea-
tures. The Klik is full replacement for the “Touch Sen-
sitive” Timex keyboard. Features include separate
space key, plugs into your Timex, no special case
required, positive feedback from key depressions.
Executive keyboard is the ultimate in the ZX-81
Timex/Sinclair range. It is a full size with special fea-
tures like automatic repeat key, full length space bar,

We hope that this issue of SYNC will
put to rest the complaints we hear from
time to time that there is no support for
the Sinclair and Timex/Sinclair com-
puters. The response to our invitation to
submit product descriptions has been
overwhelming. In fact, we could not in-
clude them all in this issue. So our next
Resources Column will be a “Buyers
Guide Supplement” to complete the list-
ings along with any new product notices
we receive.
The following categories could not be
included. You can contact the suppliers
for further information.
Horse Racing (from CRC, A. Doty, M.
H. Marks, 3G, UAS).
Biorhythms (from Fisher-Marriott,
Gladstone, Orbyte, Softsync, Syber,
UAS).
Astronomy (from Bug-Byte, Gladstone,
Kamel, Robert C. Moler, Bob Woish, Z-
West).
Hangman (from American Micro,
Gladstone, Haymarket, R. Midura, Soft-
sync, Z-West).
Golf (from Asia Tsucho, Com-
putronics, Emvee, Mindware,_ R.
Midura).
Books, publications.
How to Use
the Buyers Guide
First, the Buyers Guide is a listing of
products and services available for the
Sinclair ZX81 and the Timex/Sinclair
1000. It is not a catalog. We cannot guar-
antee the accuracy, completeness, or
timeliness of the information printed. If
you see a product that is of interest, we
suggest that you make an inquiry of the
supplier before sending off an order with
a check. Our aim has been to give you as
complete a listing of resources as possible
with an indication of cost.
Next, the products are arranged in cat-
egories. Since some products could easily
be listed in several categories, check in
more than one place.
The listings follow this format:
1) Supplier’s name in bold face type.
The suppliers in a given category are
arranged alphabetically. All the products
from one supplier in a given category are
listed together. Consult the Directory of
Suppliers for the address. This Directory
is arranged in alphabetical order by com-
pany name. If the supplier name is a
personal name or includes a personal
name, the entry should be found under
the last name.
May/June 1983
2) The product name. Programs and
books are italicized. The supplier’s num-
ber, if any, follows in parentheses.
3) RAM pack requirements are for the
ZX81/TS1000. A few products are for
the Spectrum and so indicated. The for-
mat of the material follows. This was not
always clear in the information we
received.
4) Prices in dollars, pounds or, in a few
cases, Canadian dollars indicated by
(Can). Suppliers will usually take checks;
a few specified money orders only. The
buyer is also responsible for any sales
taxes on orders from suppliers from the
same state.
5) Shipping and handling. “pp.” indicate
postpaid. “s&h” means that there is a
separate charge for postage, shipping, and
handling. This also was not always clear
in the information we received.
6) Product description.
Next Issue
The theme section of our next issue
will be “SYNC at the Workbench,” fea-
turing hardware articles ranging from
building a robot to making minor modifi-
cations of your computer. We will also
include the “supplement” to our Buyer’s
Guide issue.
The TS1000 for $69.95
Timex announced on March 11 that
the suggested retail price for the TS1000
has been reduced to $69.95 and that the
rebate program of $15 would continue
through April as announced earlier.

Timex, Sinclair, and
the Clones
David H. Ahl
At the Winter Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas, there was much fan-
fare surrounding the official introduction
of the Timex/Sinclair 2000. Dan Ross,
Vice-President for Computer Products,
and the entire Timex crew were there as
well as Clive Sinclair and Nigel Searle
from Sinclair Research in Britain. On a
much lower key, a Sinclair clone and a
look-alike that ran Forth were shown by
smaller companies.
We've told you about the 2000 (Sinclair
Spectrum) in previous issues of SYNC, so
before looking at the other new hardware,
let’s hear what Dan Ross has to say about
marketing. Today, about 14,000 retail
outlets are carrying the Timex/Sinclair
1000; Dan expects that number to in-
crease to 25,000 or more by the end of
1983. Catalog showrooms, toy chains, and
bookstores are all in Ross’s sight, but he
also plans to target other channels of
distribution, most notably schools and
banks.
By June or July, says Ross, several
programs will be instituted between
Timex and different banks. He thinks that
banks will be rushing to give away the
1000 as a premium for opening new
accounts, especially when Timex intro-
duces a $99 modem (expected in the first
quarter of 1983).
Ross feels the modem is important be-
cause banks are very interested in de-
The Timex/Sinclair 2000
veloping at-home electronic banking ser-
vices, but the terminal cost thus far has
been prohibitive. A computer/modem
combination with a list price of $185 could
change all that.
Like Apple, Atari, and Tandy, Timex
sees the educational market as having a
vast, untapped potential. Our opinion is
that Timex might be underestimating the
amount of software, courseware, and
handholding support that is necessary to
get into the educational market in a major
way. Time will tell.
How many Timex/Sinclair 1000 and
Sinclair ZX81 computers have been sold?
Of course, the number is a moving target,
but as of the end of 1982, our best es-
timate is 600,000 Timex/Sinclair 1000s,
and about the same number of ZX8ls,
although only 200,000 of them are in the
United States.
Does that make the Sinclair the best
selling computer in the world? We think
so, and Clive Sinclair and Dan Ross cer-
tainly agree. However, both Commodore
and Texas Instruments also claim to be
number 1 in sales. Commodore people
were telling everyone in sight at CES that
they had produced one million Vic 20’s,
while TI people were just saying the
99/4A was the best seller, period. No
matter who you believe, 1983 should
shape up to be a most interesting year.
This year will be interesting for many
reasons. First, with Time magazine en-
dorsing the personal computer as
“Machine of the Year,” the home com-
puter gained respectability and urgency
in the minds of millions of consumers.
Second, as more people enter the market
as consumers, volume goes up and prices
come down. But beyond the effect on
prices, more customers mean that manu-
facturers will offer a wider diversity of
peripherals, software, and applications.
In addition to the many new peripherals
and software packages at CES of interest
to Timex and Sinclair owners, two new
computers were announced. The first was
a clone of the Timex/Sinclair 1000 with
the main difference being a “real” key-
board. Well, it doesn’t exactly have a
typewriter keyboard, but rather little rub-
berized “Chiclets.” Dubbed the Futura
8300, it was being shown in the Unisonic
booth.
I spoke with the Chinese designer of
the Futura and asked him if the Basic was
licensed from Sinclair. All of a sudden,
his English seemed to falter, but he quick-
ly recovered, shrugged and asked why it
should be licensed. Why, indeed? I’m not
sure, but it seems to me that it should be.
The Jupiter Ace
The Unisonic Futura 8300
I then went to find someone from
Unisonic who could tell me when the
machine might be marketed, how we
could get one for review, and so on. “We
don’t have anyone to deal with the press,”
I was gruffly told. “How should I go about
getting one?” I asked, reminding the
gentleman that we published SYNC and
Creative Computing. “Buy one,” he said
as he walked away to find someone else
to insult. Although Unisonic is a strict
orthodox Jewish company and pre-
sumably its employees have had a fine
upbringing, we have been singularly un-
impressed with their courtesy and product
support in the past. Thus, we do not have
high hopes for the Futura 8300, even at
the suggested retail price of $80.
Another computer which also looked
like a T/S1000 with a real keyboard was
the Jupiter Ace. Unlike the T/S machine,

Dear readers by the time you read this,
you may have in the shops the Timex/
Sinclair 2000 which is your equivalent of
the ZX Spectrum.
The Spectrum can have 16K or 48K
RAM provided inside the case (the extra
32K RAM chips and decoding can be
added to the sockets at a later date).
There is no RAM CS connection provided
on the expansion port so once 48K is
fitted, no EPROMs or extra devices can
be inserted into the memory map. As the
upgrade is via 32K chips and needs 150ns

SINWARE announces two new pro-
grams in machine code to enhance the
power of BASIC programmers. (16K
required. )
olEF
STEP is a debugging tool that quickly
pinpoints BASIC programming errors.
STEP provides line-at-a-time execu-
tion of your programs and allows you
to check the display and the values of
program variables for unexpected re-
sults. Other modes allow breakpoints
to be set by line number for quick
testing of long programs, by the num-
ber of passes for testing loops, or by
limits on specified variables.
STEP occupies 3K at the top of your
16K memory and is available as you
write and test your program. STEP is
simple enough to be used by the learn-
er and competent enough for the ex-
pert. Detailed instructions include a
sample session for quick mastery of
program features.
Z-TOOLS
Z-TOOLS is a set of BASIC utilities that
enhance your programming power.
MERGE programs from your own li-
brary of tested subroutines to build new
programs quickly. RENUM provides
neat listings, includes numbered
GOTO’s and GOSUB’s, and flags those
with expressions. COPY and DELETE
blocks of lines for quick restructuring.
VERIFY the contents of your tape against
memory and eliminate losses to defec-
tive recording. All functions menu driv-
en and error checked.
Z-TOOLS is a compact 2K and is pro-
vided in two versions on one cassette
for 16K or for expanded RAM.
SINWARE’s other products are those
household names HOT Z, for cracking
the mysteries of machine code, and Z
EXTRA, for great displays and easy

type chips, upgrades from other suppliers
have been slow in coming, but some now
cost £24.50 as against Sinclair’s price of
£50 (which also requires the computer to
be returned to Sinclair). A novel way
round fitting extra chips is to add an
“ADAM” adaptor which allows the use of
a 16K ZX type RAM pack on the back of
a Spectrum giving 32K for Basic. The
RAM pack cannot be used directly for
two reasons: not only is the memory area
filled with RAM, but also the top eight
address lines of the expansion bus are on
either end of a 28 way p.c.b. edge instead
23 way edge of the ZX81. This makes any
memory device incompatable and only
I/O devices which restrict themselves to
the address lines A7, A6, and A5 are
useable. Sinclair has extended the number
of bits required by his devices to five, so
that if any I/O address which has one of
the lower bits as Binary 0 will turn on his
devices. This is covered in the manual.
The choice of ASCII as the character
set has speeded up the production of
games etc. for the Spectrum, but the
screen display, although memory mapped
and controlled by the ULA, is weirdly
mapped. This leads to problems when
you wish to use the screen with machine
code or POKE it directly. The screen
itself takes up 6912 bytes of RAM from
the basic 16K and the lower half is map-
ped in dots rather than characters. Each
Binary 1 represents an INK color, and
each Binary 0, a PAPER color. This ex-
plains why there are only two colors
allowed per character square. The top
half called the ATTRIBUTE file contains
the colors for INK and PAPER (out of a
choice of eight), plus whether they should
be FLASHing, BRIGHT, etc. The attrib-
ute file is normal mapped so that char-
acter 0,0 is the first followed by 0,1, etc.
One of the interesting developments is
that the whole character set can be rede-
fined as well as the user definable char-
acters (of which there are 21 A-U). By
using a routine included in the “Horizon”
cassette which is given free with every
Spectrum, various sizes of characters can
be made, giving up to 56 characters per
line.
Many games etc. use this to squeeze
more instructions or characters on to the
screen. This and the fact that saving ma-
chine code and variables separately on
the Spectrum is easy has encouraged pro-
grammers to separate their programs into
sections to save on memory and make
them harder to copy. Time Gate by
Quicksilva is a good example as the in-
structions LOAD the program after the
user has read them. This enables the full
use of memory in this adventure type
game. Games mostly seem to be based on
Pacman, Frogger, Space Invaders, and
Asteroids at the moment.
Having machine code so easily avail-
able, a lot of companies have come out
with assemblers and disassemblers as well
as monitors for the Spectrum. One of the
best disassemblers is SPDE from
Campbell systems and one of the best
assemblers is ULTRA VIOLET from
ACS. Pascal and Forth should just be a
short time behind. Also available, but
untried by me are two Basic compilers
which turn out a machine code version of
Basic program which is at least 100 times
faster. These are available from PSS and
SOFTEK.
The tape interface works at 1500
BAUD on the Spectrum and is very reli-
able. It has, however, one disadvantage
over the ZX81 in that the cassette leads
have to be constantly plugged in and out
as feedback from the tape recorder stops
a program or data being SAVEd properly.
To stop this the EAR lead must be dis-
connected during SAVEing. This has led
to the more common use of a cassette
switch which allows you to disconnect
one lead as well as amplify the rather
weak BEEP sound effect from the
Spectrum. Abacus does one if you are
interested, and there is a programmable
version available called an RZ1 which
also controls the tape motor.
Coming back to the BEEP command
for the moment, this only produces one
sound at a time and stops all computing
while doing it. This has lead to the pro-
duction of various sound boards based on
the AY8910 chip which will put out
sounds independent of what the processor
is doing. One of the best ideas I have seen
yet is to include with it A/D and a set of
joysticks plus an amplifier. This is done
by Micro Power as a plug on board. It
can also amplify the BEEP of the Spect-
rum if you wish.
Another use of the BEEP loudspeaker
is employed by several of the games, that
is, of having your Spectrum talk to you.
This is achieved only in machine code
and can either be reproduced by talking
into a microphone and recording the digi-
tal signals to play back as speech or by
using preprogrammed sounds to repro-
duce the voice. Both are available, and
speech may be available later as an add-
on chip.
Games are obviously one use of the
Spectrum, but a lot more businessmen
are looking at the Spectrum as a first step
in computerizing their businesses. There
will very soon be printer interfaces for
the Spectrum, and Sinclair is launching a
word processor soon. This is to go with
the promised RS232 interface for a print-
er. The microdrive controller will be fitted
inside the RS232/network interface box
and so two boxes will now be required to
use the “coming soon” Microdrive which
is well over due. The network interface
specification, modem, etc. are still to be
published.

ADVENTURES — Adventures are a unique
form of computer game. They let you spend
30 to 70 hours exploring and conquering a
world you have never seen before. There is
little or no luck in Adventuring. The rewards
are for creative thinking, courage, and wise
gambling — not fast reflexes.
In Adventuring, the computer speaks and
listens to plain English. No prior knowledge
of computers, special controls, or games is re-
quired so everyone enjoys them—even people
who do not like computers.
Except for Quest, itself unique among Ad-
venture games, Adventures are non-graphic.
Adventures are more like a novel than a comic
book or arcade game. It is like reading a par-
ticular exciting book where you are the main
character.
All of the Adventures in this ad arein Basic.
They are full featured, fully plotted adventures
that will take a minimum of thirty hours (in
several sittings) to play.
Adventuring requires 16k on Sinclair, TRS-
80, and TRS-80 Color. They require 8k on OSI
and 13k on VIC-20. Sinclair requires extended
BASIC. Now available for TI99.
TREK ADVENTURE by Bob Retelle — This
one takes place aboard a familiar starship and
is a must for trekkies. The problem is a famil-
iar one — The ship is in a “decaying orbit”
(the Captain never could learn to park!) and
the engines are out (You would think that in
all those years, they would have learned to
build some that didn't die once a week). Your
options are to start the engine, save the ship,
get off the ship, or die. Good Luck.
Authors note to players — | wrote this one
with a concordance in hand. It is very accurate
— and a lot of fun. It was nice to wander
around the ship instead of watching it on T.V.
DERELICT by Rodger Olsen and Bob Ander-
son — For Wealth and Glory, you have to ran-
sack a thousand year old space ship. You'll
have to learn to speak their language and
operate the machinery they left behind. The
hardest problem af all is to live through it.
Authors note to players — This adventure
is the new winner in the “Toughest Adventure
at Aardvark Sweepstakes’’. Our most difficult
problem in writing the adventure was to keep
it logical and realistic. There are no irrational
traps and sudden senseless deaths in Derelict.
This ship was designed to be perfectly safe for
its’ builders. It just happens to be deadly to
alien invaders like you.
Dungeons of Death — Just for the 16k TRS-
80 COLOR, this is the first D&D type game
good enough to qualify at Aardvark. This is
serious D&D that allows 1 to 6 players to go
on a Dragon Hunting, Monster Killing, Dun-
geon Exploring Quest. Played on an on-screen
map, you get a choice of race and character
(Human, Dwarf, Soldier, Wizard, etc.), a
chance to grow from game to game, and a 15
page manual. At the normal price for an Ad-
venture ($14.95 tape, $19.95 disk), this is a
giveaway.

genous problems.: This one has captivated

MARS by Rodger Olsen — Your ship crashed.
on the Red Planet and you have to get home.
You will have to explore a Martian city, repair
your ship and deal with possibly hostile aliens
to get home again.
Authors note to players — This is highly
recommended as a first adventure. It is in no
way simple—playing time normally runs from
30 to 50 hours — but it is constructed in a
more “open” manner to let you try out ad-
venturing and get used to the game before
you hit the really tough problems.

QUEST by Bob Retelle and Rodger Olsen —
THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE
OTHER GAMES OF ADVENTURE !!!! It is

Alesia. You lead a small band of adventurers
on a mission to conquer the Citadel of Moor-
lock. You have to build an army and then arm
and feed them by combat, bargaining, explora-
tion of ruins and temples, and outright ban-
ditry. The game takes 2 to 5 hours to play
and is different each time. The TRS-80 Color

SEA WAR
FOR ZX81
This game is designed for one or two players. Each player has three submarines. As a certain
number of points are reached, bonus submarines will be given. When the game is going on, the
higher the score you get, the more that hostile features will appear on the screen.
The features which appear on the screen are as follows:
Submarine, Warship, U-boat and Helicopter.
Submarine
This feature is under your own control and is loaded at the left hand side of the screen. The keys
‘9’ and ‘0’ are the firing buttons for the upward missiles and forward missiles respectively.
The submarine can be moved in four directions; it can move upwards and downwards by
pressing keys ‘7’ and ‘6' respectively. In order to move forward, you press key ‘8’ and it will draw
back to its previous position when you release the button. Also, the submarine can be moved
diagonally upwards or downwards by pressing both keys ‘8’ and ‘7’ or keys ‘8’ and ‘6’ respective-
ly at the same time.
U-boat
This is the hostile submarine: It drifts under the sea level randomly, from right to left. Missiles are
fired as it approaches your submarine. Destroying a U-boat scores 20 points.
Warship
This is the enemy destroyer which will release bombs diagonally as it drifts on the sea surface
from right to left.
The destruction of a warship is done by either firing a vertical missile or, when the submarine is
just under sea level, by pressing keys ‘7’ and ‘0’ which release a horizontal missile. Otherwise the
missiles will just pass under the ship bottom. Each destruction of this feature scores 50 points.
Helicopter
As you reach a certain score, helicopters appear on the left hand corner of the screen; they drop
vertical bombs as they hover above the submarine. To destroy the helicopters, vertical missiles
can be fired by pressing key ‘9’. Each helicopter destroyed scores 100 points.

What a super product!...conceived and executed very nicely...and with quality components.
(SYNTAX QUARTERLY Winter 82)
8K Nonvolatile memory is a gem! It has so many possible uses...| recommend this board most heartily.
(OKLAHOMA S.U.G. Newsletter 1/3)
We found the documentation to be far superior to that (of) most hardware we've received.
(S.U.N. Newsletter Nov/Dec 82)
For versatility this is even better than an EPROM...ranks quite high on the list of “must-haves”...
INTRODUCTION
This memory board is designed to fill the transparent 8K
block of memory (from 8 to 16K) in a ZX81-16K system.
This area of memory is an ideal place to store, either per-
manently or temporarily, machine language routines or
data which are to be used by the BASIC system.
A sample display routine, a program—merging routine,
and procedures for storing utilities on tape are included
with the kit.
The use of HM6116LP 2K CMOS RAM memory IC’s with
their own reserve power supply means that routines stored
in the RAM are nonvolatile — the RAM retains its memory
even when the ZX81 is switched off or reset. Moreover, be-
ing RAM, the routines you store in the memory are easily
modified. The lithium cell supplied with the, board will main-
tain sufficient reserve power for almost ten years.
(SYNC Magazine Mar/Apr 83)
ASSEMBLY
Complete step-by-step instructions in a 20 page manual
make assembly of the board easy. Construction takes be-
tween two and three hours. The kit (pictured above) is
complete with a silkscreened solder-masked printed cir-
cuit board, all capacitors, resistors, transistors, sockets,
connectors, integrated circuits, and the lithium cell. The
board is supplied with one 2K CMOS 6116LP-3 RAM — it
will accomodate three more for a total of 8K.

SINWARE provides these quality
machine code programs for the ZX81/
TS 1000:
HOT Z
HOT Z is a disassembler, editor and
debugger that provides a new ap-
proach to help you solve the mysteries
of programming in fast and efficient
machine code. Let the reviewers say it
for us:
“The more experienced ML pro-
grammer will find the use of HOT Z
guite refreshing. The usual hassles
of code entry, editing and debugg-
ing are virtually eliminated.”
SYNC 2/6
“If you program in machine lan-
guage and need the best tool for
the job, buy HOT Z. This program
will never lose its value.”
SOQ #1
Z EXTRA
Z EXTRA is a display manager and data
filer that lets you enter text, data or pic-
tures directly to the screen and save
them in groups in memory, on tape or
in print. Display them sequentially or in
scrolls through one another or use them
in your BASIC programs.
S.U.N. Newsletter: “We found this to
be the best display manager pro-
gram we've seen for the ZX/TS. Ty-
pically of Sinware, the documenta-
tion is more thorough than you will
receive with any other package.”
TSUG Newsletter: “Z EXTRA bears
out the reputation of its creator as
well as the implication of its...
name: an extra dimension is added
to your computer with Z EXTRA.”
SINWARE’s other products are two
new utilities for BASIC programmers:
STEP, the ultimate BASIC debugger,
and Z-TOOLS, for the convenience of
merging, renumbering and tape verifi-
cation.

COMBAT FLIGHT
In this fantastic new arcade game you
are the death-defying commander of
a sturdy fighter ship, flying through
dangerous mountainous terrain, while
alien ships hell-bent on destroying you
are coming at you. Beware! Even if they
don’t get you they may leave dangerous
flak. Don't crash into the mountains and
don't fly too high, either way you'll never
live to fly again! Keep a steady hand
at all times and your wits about you.
SPACETREK
In this fantastic space simulation the
exciting TV program now comes to your
Sinclair ZX81/Timex TS1000. You are
in command of the Starship Endeavour,
and the galaxy—made up of 64 sectors-
is being invaded by Drakons. Your
mission is to seek them out and destroy
them before time and fuel runs out!
Five degrees of difficulty from easy
to impossible! Good luck, Commander!
TOOLBOX
Toolbox contains three superb utility
programs on one tape:
DIRECTORY is a most useful program if
you find yourself with tapes of programs
and cant remember what's on them-
This program will ‘listen’ to the tape and
display the names of the programs on
the tape. RECORD is a program that
allows you to save data onto tape and
read it back into the program at a later
stage. RECORD can be incorporated into
your own BASIC program, and is ideal
for name and address info, short data
blocks, etc. Its use is limited only by your
imagination. TOOLKIT. The amazingly
compact TOOLKIT allows you to achieve
better graphics effects in your own
programs, as well as help you write your
BASIC programs more quickly and more
efficiently. With commands such as,
‘No Inverse’, ‘Inverse’, ‘Reverse’, ‘Fill’,
‘Free’, ‘Renumber’, ‘Find & Replace’
and ‘Open’ you will find this a most
useful program.
THE COMPLETE SINCLAIRYZX81 & TIMEX
TS1000 BASIC COURSE
The SYNC review says: “It has been said, ‘It’s not what
something costs that counts; it’s what it’s WORTH!’
That certainly seems true in the case of The Complete
Sinclair ZX81 & Timex TS1000 Basic Course.
The course begins with the assumption that you
know practically nothing about computers or
programming and holds your hand pretty tightly.
However, later chapters go into depth on some
very valuable material for those intending to do
significant programming on the ZX81/TS1000.
If you have any interest in learning to program
your ZX81/TS1000, especially if you are new in
computing, | would recommend this course highly.”
The course comes in a ring binder and is available
for $34.50
cassettes are also available for $7.50

UNDERSTANDING YOUR ZX81 ROM
by Dr. lan Logan
SYNC Magazine said: “SYNC readers will recognize
Dr. Logan as a major ZX80/81 expert whose writings
are well worthwile. Understanding Your ZX81 ROM is
no exception. The book falls logically into five parts:
a brief review of the Z80 CPU, next a quick intro-
duction to the internal arithmetic and number base
manipulations; a discussion of the Z80 machine code
instructions grouped by function; a detailed exam-
ination of the relevant parts of the 8K ROM; Dr. Logan
introduces machine code programming by treating it
as an extension to Basic; and complete listings of the
more important 8K ROM routines are given as well as
the usual tables of machine code language
instructions, decimal-hexadecimal conversions, and
keycodes. Understanding Your ZX81 ROM should be
high on your list.” Now available for only $14.95

TS-ART
TS-ART helps you create graphics
on the screen with a pencil, an eraser,
about 120 brushes, a video inverser
and a “flicker”. You can easily move
these tools in 8 directions or along
lines or circles which are drawn, eras-
ed, painted with a brush, video invers-
ed or “flickered”. You can set a dif
ferent background to any quarter of
the screen. You can define new
graphic commands — for example
one that “does” a square. Then by
pressing only one key you can make
any of the tools to do a square
anywhere on the screen; so a square
can be drawn, erased, painted, and so
on. And the square can be rotated
and it can be compressed or expand-
ed to any size. And it can be used as a
building block for other commands
you define. And you can save or print
the artwork. And...
TS-ART is fun; is a screen editor
that can mix text with graphics; is a
smart educational device (ages 4 to
99) that indirectly teaches (LOGO
style) concepts in arithmetic,
geometry and computer science.
All this power (and more) for only
